Hi all,

I copy here the mail I sent to freebsd-questions cause I didn't get any answers:


Yesterday I updated to 7.1-p3 on AMD64 arch.

Since then, the NIC is not detected anymore. ifconfig doesn't show it
and I can't connect to the Internet.

There were well-known issues with this NIC model before,
(http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/hackers/2008-11/msg00299.html)
 but the weird thing is that it seemed to be fine with
7.1-RELEASE and newer till this -p3.

It doesn't recognize the card in 4/5 boot sequences (really annoying).

Anybody with this problem?

Thanks in advance.
